| V K Shenoi- my elder friend |
Sun sets early 4.30 P.M.
Give
me ink for my Kalam.
Pure
white clothes not to be seen
Last
year draught unforeseen.
Dirty
houses, liter all around.
Paanwalla
dukan, people surround.
Water
to be pulled up from deep wells
Fileria
foot, no doubt swells.
All
round scene is rocky hills,
Night
wind is full of shrills.
Dunlop
pillow is no good for this cold,
The
old man's face is full of folds.
Jackal
calls in the night,
I
came here for the filigri sight.
Terrific
cold under asbestaus roofing,
In
sunlight only, open-air bathing.
School
before Britishers, 1760,
Early
morning air is misty.
Head
Master is also Post Master,
Triangle
emblem on Family poster.
Vistas
through Mangoe trees,
Coconut
oil also freeze.
Termite
hills everywhere,
Cows
milk in earthenware.
Haystacks
of all shapes,
Shadows
take new shapes.
Chariot
base means Temple of Jaganath,
From
here we go to Badrinath..
( Poem written around 1975, by V.K. Shenoy)

Dear Solaman Saar:- Thank you very much for posting my poem in your Blog. Actually I don't know the procedure for posting any writing in G Mail to Face Book or my Blog. Even Transliteration is not yet fully pliable in my mind. In this regard I am still a slow coach. I think I must use the chilli powder trick of V.D.Raajappan - our Comedy Kaathikan (Kerala Chaplin) - ie. to apply the chilli powder to the hind part of the horse dragging my coach. Thanking you again. V.K. Shenoy
